They'd be disappointed and angry. Disappointed in the overall viewpoints of the AA youth in majority, the way some of us black people are still forced to live and mad that other black people that come here just take advantage of the rights that AA ancestors died for us to have in this country or give them credit for.

Some will be impressed some will be proud and some will be happy. I think some may be disappointed that as a whole a lot more hasnt been done but I would also think they would be understanding of the circumstance and how the overall success of the AA community isnt simply black/white... no pun.

I remember asking my great grandma about the Great Depression.She was like what? Same ole same ole, didn't make no difference to them she said

I miss being able to talk to my grandparents....It would be just about life in general......... it never got boring... They all came were around the same age one set from KY and other from NC yet had such situations that made their life sooooooooo different so it was an interesting pov of racism.

Off topic, I was just getting to the age where I really understood what they were talking about before they died. One of my grandparents grew up in Montgomery Al, the other in Tn before moving to Mich and granny hated white folk until the day she died. I didn't fully understand her mistrust and anger until after she passed.

Yeah, I miss my grandmothers something terrible. I miss their stories about what things were like growing up. I miss how my northern grandma told me about the train ride she took to the south and saw segregated signs once she crossed the Mason-Dixon line. I miss how she told me about the time she was in school and a white boy called her the name and she beat the ever living shyt out of him and from then on, he was just as nice as he could be to her.

My grandpa who was from NC was biracial...he didnt trust any white ppl but his mama. She was disowned by a majority of her family. He had a habit of showing off in from of white ppl....to let them know he wasnt broke.... but he would always return shhh on the low.. cause he was kinda cheap. My one grandma from KY had always worked as maid for this rich white fam in indiana til her dying day. Many asked when she would stop but she said she never would.....

My grandpa from NC was wild ....lol My grandma claimed she was what made him calm down...He tried to form a biker gang but no one wanted to ride with him because they didnt know what he was.The blacks knew he had some black in him but they didnt trust him. He did the moonshine thing as well. My grandma on the other hand was this really shy woman...very soft spoken.....but they were an amazing pair...... when she passed he kinda shut down...when he went to her casket at her funeral he just stood there for a long time and kissed her and that was the first time I ever saw him do that lawd i cried and cried.... ...
